This song, that has instantly become a supper hit, was written and sang by Aliyenka Lawrence Dawson who just like the title of his song, chose a funny stage name-Captain Dollar.
Born and bred in Nsambya, Kampala, Captain Dollar went to Police primary school, Lugazi mixed and St Peters Nsambya respectively. He is the 5th born of seven children born to Deus Aliyenka- his father.
In his song-Emesse, the 20 year old is woken by his wife to beat a rat and he vows that he will kill it! However, several people have curved out a different meaning claiming that the song is vulgar and spoiling the juveniles The captain though says that he sang the song with no Vulgar intention whatsoever and that he sang it basing on true story. He says that while he was growing up, their home was invaded by the Rodents that most of the time his sisters would call upon him and his brothers to kill the rats-eh eh! Are you thinking what am thinking?
